No.  If you are looking for something worth the money then any high end keyboard is not what you are looking for.  Your basic ones are. 

 

pro:  Expensive, bragging rights, RGB for us to see in dark & all colors, Great, Mechanical keyboard, I'd personally go for the most macro keys on a keyboard if I were spending that much on one.

Con:  Expensive

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

The drivers of mine crash constantly, making it impossible to swap the effects of my keyboard, i'm pretty sure it has something to do with Steam.

 

I think it's worth it tho, the lighting is a great feature when it works, and they'll probably be fixed soon. 

 

It's really a personal choice, I like fancy lights so I got mine RGB.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

I have the K95 RGB in Cherry MX Brown Switches and I love the keyboard. So much so I like to type long post just so I can hear the key switch sounds without looking like an idiot mashing on the keyboard. :P

 

Haven't had issues with the software though it was a bit tricky to use at first. Personal choice. But I thought it was worth it.

I own the K70 RGB with mx browns and don't regret the purchase, not for a moment. 

I like the build quality, the software works flawless for me and I enjoy typing on it.

 

Is it worth the €190? That's something you should decide for yourself because I have admit, it's a rather steap price for a keyboard with fancy lights.

Personally, if my current one breaks, I'd buy a new one in a heartbeat because how much I love typing on it.

The light profiles are so much fun and it gives a nice atmosphere light effect to my desk.

Just got my own K70 RGB Brown Switches, awesome keyboard and the software's surprisingly good too. However I do have this annoying problem where Windows pops up with a "USB device not recognized" every few minutes, still trying to figure that one out. Great keyboard though.

I tried my brothers K95 RGB with Brown's earlier. And here are some of my thoughts of it.

Initial impressions were fairly good. But I was off-put by the fact that the macro section was made out of plastic, not aluminum.

And typing on it was... I don't know. It didn't feel bad. It just didn't feel the same as with my Ducky keyboards that I have.

Do you need RGB? No, you don't. Is it fancy? Yes, yes it is.

Absolutely not worth the extortionate price tag for a few extra LEDs, you can pick up a Logitech G710+ for under $100 on Ebay.

I have a K70 RGB with brown switches and it's nice, but I wouldn't say it it worth what I paid for it. Honestly I would have got the Ducky shine 4 if it hadn't only been available with the ridiculous horse logo on the space, ruining an otherwise understated keyboard. It is good for gaming, but there keyboards for half the price are equally good, but they can't light up purple...

The keyboard is great, software is much better, and i don't get any crashes. Rgb is up to you. I like it, i get profiles from corsair fourms. I have maybe 20 profiles 1 with 165 flags.
